'Real Housewives' alum Carlton Gebbia, husband David to divorce

Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Carlton Gebbia and her husband, David Gebbia, are headed for divorce.

David filed Tuesday in Los Angeles to end his 20-year marriage to the 44-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, according to The Blast.

Us Weekly reported David cited irreconcilable differences for the split. He is requesting joint legal and physical custody of his three children with Gebbia, 15-year-old daughter Destiny, 14-year-old daughter Mysteri and 6-year-old son Cross.

David listed Sept. 16 as the date of separation, although Gebbia had confirmed the split in August 2016. She said in an interview with People the next month that she and David were "finally on the same page" about their future.

"It was never a verbal decision between him and I. It just sort of happened naturally. It was a gradual breakup of our relationship over a period of time," the star explained.

"This man was my soulmate for 20 years and never would I have imagined this," she confessed. "He was my everything, but we've been together a long time ... [It] is wonderful now to know that we can still continue to be partners."

Gebbia is known for starring in Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She shared a photo on Twitter with her three children Wednesday, the day after David filed for divorce.

"So very blessed with these amazing babies .... #Thanksgiving2017 #myeverything," the star captioned the picture.
